The transmitters (transducers) M2725A (Toco), M2726A (ultrasound), and M2727A (ECG) which are subject of this application for a FCC certification are WMTS (608-614 MHz) devices that will be operated under FCC Rule Part 95. All three transmitters have very similar design. They contain identical RF/CPU boards and parameter specific front-end boards (Toco, US or ECG). For this reason all transmitters have the same RF behavior. In addition to the exhibits submitted on August 13, 2002 we are sending now the following documentation: 1. Internal photograph of the RF-CPU board showing its upper and bottom view (‘RFCPU_Board_bottom_top_am_PDF’). This photograph has much higher resolution than the one sent previously. 2. Internal photographs of all three transmitters/transducers M2725A Toco, M2726A ultrasound, and M2727A ECG (‘TOCO/US/ECG_open_am.JPG’) showing that all three transmitters/transducers contain respectively the same RF-CPU board and parameter dependent front-end boards. 3. Parts structure (‘PartsStructure_Tx_am.PDF) including the list of the transmitters/transducers components pointing up the identical RF-CPU board in each transmitter/transducer. If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, Markus Stacha Regulatory Affairs Engineer

SAR compliance. Due to the very low radiated power of the transmitter (max. 0.03 mW EIRP), the independent test house CETECOM decided that tests had not been required. This SAR compliance statement is contained in the attached test report on the transmitter on page 7. 2. Rated power output We applied for 0.1 mW radiated power. The test report has been fixed up so that you can see the detailed data concerning power output in the table on page 7 now. 3. Test Report A part of the measurements has been repeated with the final configuration and the test report has been divided into two parts. We are sending you two test reports: separate for the transmitter and for the receiver (for information). We apologize for keeping you waiting, but the test house hasn’t been able to provide the requested documentation earlier. We hope that the enclosed deliverables meet with your approval. We thank you in advance for your trouble and await your reply. Best regards, Markus Stacha Regulatory Affairs Engineer Enc.: - E-Mail from FCC (on the back side) - New test report on the transmitter (including SAR compliance statement) - New test report on the receiver E-Mail from FCC To: Markus Stacha, Philips Medizin Systeme From: Andy Leimer [email protected] FCC Application Processing Branch Re: FCC ID PQCM2720A Applicant: Philips Medical Systems North America Co. Correspondence Reference Number: 23963 731 Confirmation Number: EA711900 1) This device requires routine RF exposure evaluation. Submit a SAR Report. If the conducted power is less than 1.6 mW you can submit a letter exhibit requesting exclusion from SAR testing. You would have provide conducted power measurements to prove that you meet the criteria. Explain all circumstances. This letter would then be evaluated to determine if SAR testing is required. 2) You applied for 0.1 mW. Is this ERP or conducted. I could not determine from the report where this figure is derived. 3) The Test Report is unreadable and confusing. Some plots say "with a ferrite" and others say "without a ferrite." The test report should only contain data for the final configuration. Submit a readable Test Report showing data for the final configuration of the transmitter. The receiver should be in a separate test report. The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information within 60 days of the original e-mail date may result in application dismissal pursuant to Section 2.917 (c) and forfeiture of the filing fee pursuant to section 1.1108. DO NOT reply to this e-mail by using the Reply button. In order for your response to be processed expeditiously, you must upload your response via the Internet at www.fcc.gov, Electronic Filing, OET Equipment Authorization Electronic Filing. If the response is submitted through Add Attachments, in order to expedite processing, a message which informs the processing staff that a new exhibit has been submitted must also be submitted via Submit Correspondence. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Any questions about the content of this correspondence should be directed to the e-mail address listed below the name of the sender.

During rotation we use the antenna lift system to vary the high from 1 to 4 m. So we find maximum radiation output. At this points we do manual remeasurements. After this we do the same measurements in horizontal position of the receiving antenna. This (horizontal and vertical) is made for all the three planes of the test sample. We use the maximum received results. The radiated power was measured by substitution method according to FCC standard. The detector function and selection of bandwidth are according ANSI C63.2-1996 / 8.2.1 and ANSI C63.4-1992 Item 4.2.
